Kathmandu: Acrylic on canvass hardly ever seemed as meaningful. Aptly titled Shanti Yagya, altogether 33 paintings by Uma Shankar Shah displayed at the exhibition at Siddhartha Art Gallery turns the atmosphere into sacred ceremony. From Shanti Chakra to Fantasia, to city and pilgrim’s haven create a powerful impression of blissful tranquillity.

Lawren Moriarity, wife of Ambassador of the United States of America inaugurated the exhibition.
